Why are we starting tis kid he doesn’t have a freakin’ CLUE!! that was a perfectly trhown pass from Grads and he has no clue how to go after the ball.

GForce21

Aside from not separating, he fails to track the ball when its in the air. Plus, if he managed to separate AND track the ball, he probably would not catch it anyway.

cable set up fake dhb reverse twice….next one has got to be a dhb reverse

16yearsold16yearfan

does jamarcus look smaller to you when they showed him on the sideline he looked like he lost some weight and huff and scott ar balling

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

LOL. priest, you said you weren’t going to criticize him anymore. Guess you can’t help it. I don’t blame you.

Ghost2Post

Is Scott playing LB?

priesttj

We just had roomates run into each other dropping a pick for six.

aig

Gforce
so true.

aig

ghost,

they benched howard for scott today.

AbusedByAl

Huff playing very well.
Cowboys bring a lot of pressure to the QB. We have difficulty sustaining drives… but not too bad so far.

GForce21

Secondary having a hard time with that perennial pro bowler miles Austin.

Wonder if dmac is jealous of Felix Jones right now.

GForce21

We are holding Felix just under 20 per carry.

AbusedByAl

I wrote that too early… TD Cowboys

aig

morrison needs to be benched. He cannot get off a fcking block.

priesttj

MR, it’s obvious to me Russell will be back sooner than we all think.

It’s the same thing we’re leaving the defense on the field way too long. We’re running on then but the pass is non-existent. Simple as that.

BENCH HEY-BEY NOW!!! who will they scapegoat next for Hey-Bey? the great Grads???

AbusedByAl

And there were too many penalties in the 1st Q.

armond

will the great grad bring us back now gentlemen? dhb sucks and the organization will have to live with this one. they better hope he developes cuz i see no football instincts from him at all. he makes all of these halfazz attempts to go for the ball. its disgusting.

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

D’s already tired. They didn’t practice this week. Just celebrated their meaningless mid season victory. This is a big part of why the Raiders have sucked for so long. Al Davis fostering this environment. Remember, Kiffin talked about how he was going to change that. No more Super Bowl celebrations just for being 2-2. The goal is to win a Super Bowl, not beat Denver one time, while losing 12 games.

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

Why do we keep running? Put the ball in Marino’s hands!

aig

looks like Morrison missed his gap assignment over pursuing the player

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

I think he read the receivers just like Marino, AIG. The delivery? Not so much. But he definitely resembled Marino when he was looking off his progressions.

armond

cable is a damn liar and i want him fired after the season. he lied on jamarcus twice to save his own butt. priest is right about him sayin some guys would make a difference and now they dont? get real. he put his foot in his mouth cuz if grads dont win games al davis will remember his comments.

priesttj

Hey, Cable!! same players same crap huh? Same players same crap Cable you liar!! what will you do now? because your job is on the line sucka!!

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

The Raiders are exhausted from a tough week of practice for the Bengals, then 3 days of celebrating. Guarantee you the Raiders’ practices this week were a joke. All laughing and goofing around, as if Dallas is going to just lay down for them because the beat the Bengals.

aig

priesttj,

I expect Mr. to be who he is. I am quite disappointed you actually talks like him.

But then again, I wanted JR benched and I am quite happy. It sucks you have to live with JR riding pine. I know it was never his fault. I know it was never his fault he didnt want to show up for work on a day off.

armond

also why the hell is a healthy dmc not touchin the ball more now? this guy has no clue how to utilize this talent and one of those damn fake endarounds to dhb needs to just go to him. he is being very predictable to the point where the cowboys dont even have to guess what to do. just give to fargas no matter what.

priesttj

Cowboy’s have 10 in the box because they kn ow we caan’t pass!!

aig

how many 3 and outs today priest? oh i’m sorry that Grad cna run a little more than Jafatbust.

priesttj

The great Gradkowski strikes again!!

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

Unitas just called a timeout.

RaiderSam

They needed that first down….good thing Gradkowski can run….Grad has to go DOWNFIELD

GForce21

He needs to go downfield to someone other than dhb, who just showed that he cannot catch the ball when covered or standing by himself.

armond

damn grads called a timeout, i thought he knew the playbook?

http://none The Real MaddenRaider

OK, AIG, we can lose by 30 today, as long as JR is benched. It’s cool. Between that and your astute scientific findings earlier that Gradkowski was better than Marino, Montana, and Unitas in high school, I have to say you’re in the right mindset today, AIG. You should be a motivational coach.

aig

he was smart enough to realize they have the wrong play for what the cowgirls were showing. I mean he could have played it just like JR did against teh Jets in the first play.

Defense is exhausted. They did not prepare this week. Beating a good team like the Bengals was the mountain top they were aiming for. They couldn’t care less about actually becoming a good team themselves. Just making the old man happy with one win.

aig

first play with howard in, he blows his cov.

priesttj

Should we put Russell in now or later, why watse snaps on this lame?

16yearsold16yearfan

grad missed dhb on what could have been a 1st down even though drops hella balls probably would have have lived up to his name put where he has a chance since he is so much better than jr at that
